You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.DOB: 05/30/2022 “I like big dogs, and I cannot lie!” Hi there! My name is Peach, or Peaches, or Peachie. You can call me any of them. I'm a big girl (95lbs) but I don't know I am that large (I still think I'm a puppy). Like my fruity name, I’m sweet, full of personality, and a little zesty too! I’m a happy, playful, and cuddly girl who loves adventures, walks, and curling up in your lap or by your feet for snuggles. I’m smart, well-trained, and have wonderful manners, though I do have some unique quirks that make me extra special. I enjoy having my own space when I eat my meals, treats, or chew toys. With a little personal space, I happily coexist with other dogs, and I love playing and sharing fun moments with them. But I'm not too fond of cats so I need a cat free home.  I’m looking for a loving home with adults or older kids who can appreciate my playful, affectionate personality. My foster mom says I’m a joy to care for, and she has experience with dogs like me, so she knows just how to make me feel comfortable and secure. After some recent changes in my life, I’m adjusting to a new routine, new people, and new friends, but I’m ready to find my forever family who will be patient, understanding, and ready to make lots of sweet memories with me. I promise I’ll fill your home with love, laughter, and endless cuddles. If you’re ready for a smart, affectionate, playful companion with a big heart, fill out an application today and let’s start our sweet adventure together! Up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, spayed, and microchipped. Adoption Fee: $150.00 (AF/AF*)  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 10, 2026, 12:20 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.DOB: 12/26/2025 Hi there!! My name is Red, and I know I just met you, but I love you.  I can keep you entertained all day with my playful antics. I will come running to greet you, enjoy playing with the other foster pups, and can't wait to  learn new tricks. I love to play hard and then crash for a nap.   I hope to make you my new best friend soon! I LOVE water and love playing in the puppy pool so would be a great lake dog, boat dog or fishing buddy! Please research my main breed, Australian Cattle Dog (85%), before putting in an application - my mind needs to be worked, and I would thrive best in a home with older kids. I tend to herd younger ones.  I have attended basic puppy training and know commands including come, sit, down, stay, wait, place, leave it, look at me.   (CW*)   Up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, neutered and micro-chipped.   Adoption Fee:  $300.00  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 10, 2026, 12:20 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.DOB: 10/21/2018 Ain't nothing but a hound dog.... oh and some shepherd they think, basically a heinz 57 with lots of great traits. I love to be with my people and would be great with older folks, a young couple or a family with lots of kids!   I do great with people, but am not so fond of sharing my people with other dogs.  I would love a fenced in yard so we can play fetch and I can get in some afternoon naps in the sun.  At 7 years old, I am past the chewing stage, and have great house manners and know basic commands.  Are you ready for a forever friend to watch TV with, hang out in the yard or garden with, and just be best buddies?  (CM) Up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered.  Adoption Fee:  $150.00        Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 10, 2026, 12:20 pm
